The price oi butter on the Hall-
fax market has not changed dur- ing the past week. The wholesale price is quoted at 68c per pound i.o.b. Halifax. with local Jobbing at 'l0c. . There is a slight drop in the Montreal price. with No. l solids quoted at 85 l-2c delivered. Tor- onto 85 1-4c. -
In New Brunswick. creamery
butter prices weakened slightly the past iew days. The changes were iractional and due largely
to seasonal adjustments with the approach oi the production period. Crcamery- operators and wholesale distributors decided it necessary to reduce quotations on creamer) prints it: per pound to be in agree- ment with the weaker tone on other markets. At the same time they dislike the idea oi lowering butteriat prices owing to the ei- iect it will have on the producers. However. prices in New Brunswick are now quoted: creameries to

We noticed in the press during the past: week that Britain has closed the door on Canadian cheese. This is quite a severe blow to our cheese ,. a. They will now have to maintain a. domestic iloor price. and at the same time cater more eiiectively to the Can- adian Consumer. by improving the sales appeal or their product. This can be done very eiiectively by making a good percentage oi square rindless cheese. cutting and packaging them in a modern and attractive manner.
Eggs .0 Pauitry
With prevailing milder weather and gradually improving travelling conditions, it-is expected that receipts will show a greater in- crease both irom the standpoint of heavier production and iacilit- ated deliveries irom oounirry points At present no surplus exists on dealers' iioors and all stocks are moving readily to other Maritime points. Quality is iairiy good al- though recently some evidence of holding on iarms have been notic- ed. this due no doubt to poor road conditions.

Usually heavy snowialls during the past month have slowed chick deliveries considerably. Hatchery operators report that surpluses on hand are slowly clearing up with improved travelling and weather conditions and prospects ior bal- ance oi season sales are excellent. Breeds most in demand are cross- breds-NI1xBR.. BRxN'.H. and IsxN1i. Chick prices are being maintained and no reports or mortality are being received. Total chicks hatched to date this year are 30 per cent higher than ior the same period in 1951, and 140 per cent above 1950.
Feed prices have eased some since last week's report.
Canada Leads In Oil Production -
EDMONTON. April 3 -- (Ci?) - The Alberta oil boom, which hit its peak in its fifth year, and Saskatchewan's fast-growing oil industry made Canada the Bri- tish Commonwealth's lending oil producer in 1951 for the first time.
Canada replaced British Bor- neo as the top producer. The Petroleum Information Bureau in London. England, today reported Canada's output last year totalled 6,500,000 tons compared with Bor- neo's 5.000.000 tons.
